Satellite Attitude Determination Using ADS-B Receiver and MEMS Gyro

Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) is a very important communication and surveillance technology in air traffic control (ATC). In the future, more satellites will carry out ADS-B to perform global coverage. order make full use of resources satellite, this paper proposes solution for satellite three-axis attitude determination using receiver. The principle ADS-B-based presented first. On basis, methods are employed solve problem. To achieve higher precision, gyro combined with receiver multiplicative extended Kalman filter (MEKF). Finally, simulation carried result presented.
